skills Uh, the QMonk's abillities are non-psi ki-like powers, activated by the monk's focus. Concentration fits, flavor-wise. I can see why Mongoose used the skill instead of Arcana or Religion. Is Spellcraft available in Trailblazer? Understood. Note that I'm not trying to make an argument...

concentration We've expanded its use in our campaign(s). Besides spellcasting, we use it, metagaming-wise, if a player needs his/her PC to recall certain recent game facts like their employer, who's the recently introduced major domo of a certain NPC, a line of a poem introduced earlier in the...

going pathfinder on concentration NOOOOOOOOOO...! :eek: Note to self: First houserule for Trailblazer campaign -- Insert back Concentration due to its use in 3.x material B-)

threatened area Trailblazer preview of the classes posted over at rpgnet. I was wondering if you'd be willing to cover "threatened area" in another preview post after classes: So we’ve removed the concept of “threatened squares” and replaced it with “threatened area.” You only provoke an...

talked out Wulf doesn't strike me as a man who'll allow anyone to "persuade" him to publish -- or not publish -- anything that he feels right especially for his products without a solid reason. Or am I wrong?

the rest Either way's good for me. Monk first? Or pally? LOL. Not a prestige class fan, eh ;)

finishing up How about most to least changed? Looks like that's it. Do you cover prestige classes in Trailblazer?

comments Trailblazer is an awesome product! I'm am quite serious when I posted earlier that, when the opportunity occurs to (re)start my OGL fantasy campaign, I'm using TB -- not Pathfinder -- as the base and adding everything else (i.e. 3.x supps, Pathfinder, etc.) on top of it. :D So, which...

complaint So Trailblazer is going to cover Epic levels? That's fine. Otherwise 9th level bard spells -- and lack of access to them AND no discussion on how to ever have to access them -- would have read, to me: "this is a feature, not a problem with the system."

oops Interesting. The Trailblazer bard is even more of a spellcaster than the prior version. Wait. What? Why offer something you can't use? I can immediately see bard-loving players crying foul over this (lack of) access to 9th level spells. I'd rather have had the bard's list limited to...

clarification You're right. Still thinking too much of the 3.x/SRD system. :blush: Oh, my. So none of that "gets two new spells per level after first" for wizards or sorcerers and their "swap a spell" every other level. Sounds like the preview's complete on that regard. :lol:

why play a sorcere Thanks for the example. They definitely cleared things. Quick question: why play a sorcerer? From the examples above, a Trailblazer wizard can can ready and cast up to and including seven 1st level spells in any combination within her seven readied slot slots. A sorcerer...

slight confusion here So if the PC is a multi-classed spellcaster (let's say, 3rd level cleric, 10th level wizard), the maximum spell level she can cast is 2nd level cleric spells and 5th level wizard spells? What if she was a 2nd level sorcerer and 10th level wizard? Since both use the same...

example There's a lot to absorb here though your explanation is (mostly) sound. Could you give an example of a multi-classed wizard/sorcerer around 7th level each, with maximum bonuses due to stats? I'm getting confused about their spell slots allocation in the system. I'll provide a full...

in between Re: moving around threatened areas. Nice. I like :p Re: between PFRPG and 4E. Nice.

Wizard versus Sorcerers It's funny. I just joined the local RPGA shortly after 4th edition came out. I've noticed they still use the same 3.x tactics against their opponents. It works most of the time, but mobility definitely changes the flavor of things. NICE :p. I'll give it a review if...

AoO *smacks forehead* You can tell I don't play rogues very often :-S 'unlocking'. You mean the new AoO rules? As for the talents, good enough for me. It wouldn't be difficult to reinsert the non-combat talents if necessary. So, what's next? Cleric? Oh, fyi: Trailblazer Fighter Preview...

"Quality" reviews on the rogue Combat Tactics: This will definitely encourage the rogue's player to meet those conditions (i.e., besides flanking, use skills such as feint, stunning opponents, etc.) I wonder: under what condition can Combat Tactics be combined with the rogue's Combat...

CR and Trailblazer That's an interesting comment. The current Challenge Rating (CR) is based on the average level of the four core classes against a single monster. I assumed the CR incorporates the power level differences between the cleric, fighter, rogue, and wizard. But if Trailblazer...

more quality review Okay,my impression of the Trailblazer (TB) fighter: Hit Die: Fine. I assume you'll be using standard maximum hit points at first level plus any CON bonuses. Class Skills: No change in the skills. I assume the lost of extra skill points at 1st level is countered by the...
